Manage entities

You can manage entity types and entities on Knowledge. Knowledge data will be shared with your other Scopes.

Literal Entity Type

The Literal Entity Type consists of multiple Literal Value Blocks. Literal Value used in API interaction and multiple entities that are possible inputs from your customers.

• Literal Value Block: Each block consist of pairs of one Literal Value and single or multiple Entities.

  • Literal Value: Functions similarly to a key.

  • Entity: Corresponds to the value. The difference from the Regex Entity Type is that the latter uses regular expressions for the entity value, while the Literal Entity Type simply uses a string.

Literal Entity Type

Lemmatize

“Lemmatize” feature makes listing-up the entity value easier. When you don’t activate “lemmatize” feature, if you take the entity value “knife”, AI don’t identify “knives” with the entity value, “knife”. Because the literal form of “knife” and “knives” is not same. But when you activate it, “knife” is enough to cover “knife” and “knives”.

What is "Lemmatization"?

When a word is used in sentences, the word can be presented in various forms. For example, the verb to go can be present as goes in she goes to school every day and as went in she went to school yesterday, and as going in she is going to school now. But as we know, the basic form of them which is used as a dictionary headword is go. The basic form of a word like go is called lemma. And lemmatization means making the various forms into a lemma of the word.

Please refer the examples below.

	Lemma	Variation
Noun	candle	candle, candles
Verb	go	go, goes, went, gone, going
Adjective	clear	clear, clearer, clearest

Case Sensitive

There's a "Case Sensitive" feature that can be turned on or off. When it's on, exact matches between an input and a predefined entity value are required for recognition. This exact match doesn't just concern the sequence of letters but also their specific case (uppercase or lowercase). So, for example, "apple" and "Apple" would be considered different when this feature is active.
